    S02E09: Fatty Liver Disease - How Can Your Diet Help?

    Did you know that about 1 in 4 people have fatty liver disease globally, making it the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide? Within Singapore alone, 40% of adults have been reportedly diagnosed.
    In this episode Andy De Santis, dietitian and published author, tackles our questions and concerns on this silent epidemic, and provides us with the right dietary tools to prevent and manage fatty liver disease.
    Learn why you should get an early diagnosis for immediate prevention, how alcohol isn’t the sole cause for a fatty liver, which “high ROI” supplements to take, and how gut health is linked with the condition – who would’ve thought!
    Discover the key dietary strategies and lifestyle habits to invest in to improve liver health.
    Remember: our liver is an incredible organ. It can repair and even regenerate itself after damage, with a well-managed treatment plan!
